When I was 15 I got a job dipping ice cream in a Baskin Robbins shop. They paid me $1.25 an hour. It was there that I found out that fast food wasn’t for me. There was this one guy there who worked 83 hours a week trying to earn enough money to buy a car. That’s real character. I think he looked down on people whose parents bought them their wheels. He got himself an MG sports car.

I was 17. My friend got me a job as a dishwasher in the restaurant he was already a dishwasher in. I had to lie on the application and say I was 18 so I could work nights. I worked there two months and got promoted to cook over the other 5 dishwashers.

19 at Burger King. Strangely looking back, I realized Schizophrenia limited what I could do. I remember the first day they sent me home after 2 hours. I realize now it was because I was so quiet. So …

At 15 I had a job answering phones in our church rectory. It was generally pretty quiet so i could do some homework too and remember reading Gullivers Travels for English class. The only time it was difficult was when one of the priests was dying of stomach cancer and would call down to get help from others in the building and he could be a little ornery because he was so sick.

My first job was Wendy’s at age 16, hated it. Then I did my own lawn gig at 17. Since then I’ve gone back and forth between jobs and my lawn gig until I founded my lawn maintenance and hauling as a official business in 2020. I like working for myself and being self employed, you end I end up working 10-20 hours a week and make double what people make 20-40 hours a week for basic or minimum wage jobs.

One of the only things I did that my mom told me to that I actually did was do housework. I started when I was seven and we kids kept the house clean. It prepared me for my job as a dishwasher/prep cook/ general cleaner when I was 14. I did it a month and my family pulled up stakes and moved. I got paid $3.35 hr.
